The Coming Reunions of the OIO FA- teenth c. V. and of the Twenty Seventh c. w., Two New Haven RegfmentS-The Sixth 0. V.-Other Events.
 The coming reunions of the Fifteenth c. V. and of the Twenty seventh 0. V. have peculiar interest this year, quarter ot 8 century having almost elapsed since these two regiments went forth from the muster-in camp below Hallock's to the war. These two regiments are often spoken of as New Haven regiments, so many New Haven men having gone to the war in them. Both commands are arranging to have specially interesting reunion this year. Colonel Tolles of the Fifteenth c. V. has issued a circular to the veterans of the Fifteenth in which he calls upon them to give heed to the coming re- union and send reply in order that the com mittee may know how large throng to pre- pare for:
 H'DQU'Rs COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS,
 15TH RECT VETERAN ASSOCIATION,
 SIS CHAPEL STREET.
 NEW HAVEN, Aug. 2, 1857.
 Comrade-In accordance with the expressed desire of our association at the reunion o1 last year in Wallingford, it has been decided to celebrate the twenty-ffth anniversary ot the original muster-in of our old regiment by an assemblage of all the surviving mem- bers of the regiment at New Haven on Thursday, the 25th of the present month.
 The business and social meeting will be held at the Atheneum, corner of Church and Center streets, at II o'clock a. m., and the dinner will be served at Loomis' Temple ot Music, Center street, at p. m.
 It is the purpose of the committee to make
 .1 ra1s hi blaze of the surviving veterans of the Eff teenth" fitting celebration of our quarter centennial. To this end a cordial invitation will be extended to each of the surviving members of the recruiting committee, under whose auspices the "Lyon regiment" was recruited and organized in 1862, to attend and participate with us as honorary members on that occasion. It is believed that all the members of that committee now living in or near New Haven will surely be present. and it is earnestly hoped that every living mem Der of the regiment who can do so will attend.
 In order that the committee may know for how many to provide, every comrade rece1v- ing this circular is requested to return by mail at once to Colonel Tolles the accompa- nying postal card, stating whether or not he will attend.
 The committee expect to make such ar engagements for defraying the necessary ex- pense of the halls and the dinner as not to necessitate an assessment upon the members of the association residing out of New Ha- ven.
 The Atheneum will be open for the receP- tion of out of town members from 8 o'clock a. m. and members of the committee will be there in attendance.
 In deciding not to extend this invitation to the families and friends of the veterans, but only to the veterans themselves and the recruiting committee of 1862, we have acted in accordance with vote of the association at the reunion of last year. It is believed that under such conditions even without an elaborately prepared programme of exercises our meeting on this occasion will be more than ordinarily interesting and that with so many present and participating as there is good reason to expect it will afford such 8 feast of "reminiscences as few of us can afford to lose.
 A suitable programme will, however, soon be arranged, and one of it's features will be "Sketch of the regiments history" by Captain George M. White.
 Let us sall who served with the 'fOld Fifteenth" resolve to let nothing stand in the way of our attending upon this, the twenty fifth anniversary of our entry into the service of s'Uncle Sam," and our reunion of 1887 will be one long to be remembered.
 Yours very truly,
 SAMUEL ToLLEs, President of 10th Reg. Veteran Association.
